Delta Air Lines and Starbucks are bringing back a fan-favorite way for Delta SkyMiles members to turn their Starbucks rewards into miles for future travel.

Beginning August 5, 2026, eligible linked Delta SkyMiles and Starbucks Rewards Members will earn 1 mile per $1 spent at participating Starbucks coffeehouses.

Since launching their partnership in 2022, Delta and Starbucks have given Members the opportunity to turn coffee into travel.

To be eligible, linked Members must have flown a qualifying Delta flight within the previous 12 months. Even if it's been a while since Members took a Delta flight, linked Members will have a one-time grace period on eligibility to earn through October 5, 2026. 

In addition, eligible linked Members can continue to earn Double Stars on Starbucks purchases made on days they have a scheduled Delta flight. Beyond everyday earning, linked Members may also continue to receive special access to exclusive events, limited-time offers and drops they won’t want to miss – all because their accounts are linked.

To get started, travelers need to join Starbucks Rewards and Delta SkyMiles, if not already a member and link the two accounts at deltastarbucks.com. Earned reward miles excludes taxes, gratuities, gift cards and alcoholic beverages.
